bogger44 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I went with the old line "There's no replacement for displacement" with this. The 350 went into the parts box, and the L-88 427 from the Revell '68 Corvette convert. took it's place. Headers came from the B/M '69 Camaro. Done in Model Master Huggar Orange with a Krylon semi-gloss black interior. Did my trick of using washers for disc brakes on this one too. Ended up being one of my favorite builds. Did I just say that? Being a Ford guy, maybe I should have kept that to myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.R.C. Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Awesome!!! Novas are one of my alltime favorite cars. No matter what condition they are in they have a total tough guy attitude about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This is the car Chevy should have built. Definitely would have showed a few Hemi 'Cudas the way home!! Joel Rosen at Motion did. Put L-88's in everything. Yenko and NicKey (the 'K' was backwards) did too. Mid-morning when the traffic was light on Sunrise Hwy, Mitchell or Rosen would make a full pass 'test session', usually with 4:33's, slicks and open headers. Been there, saw that. Those were WONDERFUL days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
